I’ve never heard of this plant before. Do you feed it hamburgers?
Lol. Just bugs! I have a bog garden planter outside and they catch their own dinner, but my indoor carnivorous plants need to be fed periodically. Dried mealworms work fine.
Other carnivorous plants include venus fly traps, pitcher plants like sarracenia and nepenthes or csphalotus, and pings. They require a bit of specialized care but so fun to watch and rewarding.
Found out the other day that the natural habitat for the venus fly trap is literally a small radius around Wilmington, NC and not like some exotic jungle somewhere. One of the biggest curveballs I've ever been hit with
